What Sides You Want With That?

A rooster with a broken wing that was rescued after causing a brief interruption to Blue Line service overnight in the Logan Square neighborhood has to be euthanized, authorities said.

It wasn’t known how the animal got onto the northbound tracks at the Logan Square subway station, but power was turned off at 12:14 a.m., according to CTA spokeswoman Catherine Hosinski. The stop is located at 2620 N. Milwaukee Ave.

Chicago Police and personnel from the city’s Dept. of Animal Care and Control were summoned to the scene to assist it off the track and 12 minutes later, the service was restored, Hosinski said.

Animal control executive director Cherie Travis said the bird suffered a broken wing.

“Unfortunately, the vet examined the rooster and determined that he has a broke wing and will be euthanized,’’ said Travis.

And eaten, we hope. Otherwise it's just going to sit in the morgue on a tray with the rest of the dead bodies.

that area has it's share of voodoo religion people who have been caught sacrificing goats and stabbing chickens in the past. The animal team actually busted them once. Maybe they should start focusing on them again.

So we can get the power cut to the 3rd rail, Animal Care and Control notified/enroute and have a copper jump down onto the track to retrieve a fuckIng dying bird...IN 12 MINUTES but ODPO's have to call 3 and 4 times and then hope a beat car even shows up when they're holding an offender or calling in a 1A Suspicious Person in certain districts.

All that time, effort and resources wasted for a useless bird that had to be euthanized at the conclusion of today's Feel Good Story anyway. Meanwhile, pay no mind to the fact that your police are being taken from your neighborhoods and sent to babysit the same savages who actually have roosters in their backyards.

How many 'Rooster Boosters' out there that are gonna jump on the cause and cry that enough wasn't done to save the poor poultry? "If only the police had gotten there sooner the poor thing may have had a chance...".

Gee, I'm not sure what's more heart wrenching - a rooster flopping around the 3rd rail or a flea bag floating on a chunk of ice in the lake. Sarcasm/off.

"Anonymous said...Cheaper to put the rooster down with a bullet. But I guess we could use some good press after a copper shot himself in the leg. Be safe everyone!

Cheaper???

Fire a shot to put down an animal now-a-days and an I.A.D. team, from home on overtime if need be will be dispatched for a piss test. I am waiting for the You-Tube video of a copper smashing a injured dog with a shovel because it was too much trouble to use his gun.

My Sicilian grandmother, Na-Na (RIP) would have just wrung its neck and made stufato di pollo al vino. That's stewed chicken or coq au vin to the rest of you. Sicilian proverb, Heaven should smell like Grandma’s kitchen.
